Since it's transfers next week, all of the new trainers (22 of them) were called by the President on Tuesday.
Wednesday was meeting with the missionaries that will be going home in December. "Finishers Wanted" is what he is calling it. The missionaries make goals for baptisms individually and together as a group.
Here's the group!
Elders Chipapala, Rugundana, Maumau, Bills, Goodsell and Masame.
Sisters Sekgetho, Aruoma, Tembo, Akintoke and Mawasha.
On Friday we got all of the new trainers together to train them. Big group!
Saturday evening was dinner at our house and then calling everyone about transfers. It is a fun time.
I made Sloppy Joes. Elder's Masame first time for sloppy joes. Said he liked it a lot.
At about 10:00 pm, sister Hillam called and asked if we wanted to go to Ntiamoah with them in the morning. It is a small village outside of Praso that they are forming a new group. We said yes. Talk about the bush - we were way out is the jungle and traveling on wagon trails.
When we finally arrived, Sister Hillam and I had to really go to the bathroom. Of course there is no such thing here in Ghana, but we did locate this place. And yes, we used it.
Very interesting. And this is how they washed their hands.
Here we are waiting for church to start. He thinks he's cute!
Sister Hillam and I went into the Primary to teach and sing. There were 23 children. None of them baptized.

We also watched a video on baptism.
While we were in Primary, the Priesthood met outside.
After church, the children were given the task of putting the chairs away. Everything goes on the head.
Then we made our way to Kenkause to see the chapel there. Kenkause is a village with no electricty, so the chapel has to keep all the windows and doors open during church.
More dirt roads.
We followed the Sorensens so we wouldn't get lost!
This is the chapel. Very nice.
And these are all the men around the baptismal font, which is never filled, because there is no running water.
We also walked a little ways from the chapel to see the cocoa farm and got to taste a raw cocoa bean.
They're slimy and really sweet.

We also saw two chickens fighting over lunch. There is a mouse there that they had just killed. I didn't know chickens were carnivorous.
Sunday afternoon in Kenkause.
When we were leaving the village, a storm came in. The roads got really muddy and bumpy.
When we got back to the Cape, we had to run out to Komenda to pick up some luggage from a missionary that will be going home and take some things to the apartment there. The road to their apartment is so tricky. Trying to get through trees and around buildings.
And this is the missionary's apartment.
And one last picture - Cape Coast has a "London Bridge" also.
Love you and miss you all.
